Fun fact: Joel Little, who co-wrote this song with Lorde, has parents in the media biz … his Stepmum was editor of a weekly woman's magazine here in NZ and now writes columns, and his dad is a columnist for a Sunday paper. His dad is at the Grammies too.

OT during whatever this is—anyone wake up with scratches on their back for no reason–eg. no sex, bed bugs etc I do and I looked it up and google said demonic possesion lol–hence my shadow people quote cause I never heard of that–pbvis dont believe that shit but does anyone wake up with weird scracthes?

@ninotchka for the first time ever, and only after much protesting from the public asking WHY we can't see one of our best exports perform live. So the network parted with some ca$h to make it happen. It probably won't happen again though.

like 2 huge scratches like a cat or something—should I see a doctor? cause like I said I dont have a cat or anything–and Im not being weird ghosts and shit are not what Im thinking—but random scractches anyone?

@Orvilla – well according to "some" … *eyeroll* … you can only ever make it in the entertainment biz if you sign up to the Illuminati which would mean in theory that all these people have sold their souls … not buying it tho'!

I'm glad Daft Punk won, but I would have preferred Pink/Nate. I saw Fun at ACL in October and they were incredible. I wasn't a huge fan before the show but I left there with goosebumps and obsessed with the band. Nate has a spectacular voice that is even better live.

I think it says a lot about an artist when the winner is announced and it's not them, then the camera pans back to them when the recipient starts their acceptance speech and that artist is looking happy and clapping for them. That was P!nk … nice lady.

They need to up the ante on these talent shows … a cool concept would be to take people who have no talent and are severely overweight, yet strive to be famous … put them through a Biggest Loser type programme, then bootcamp with someone like P!nk to train them up, and then kick off the auditions … I think this would be a huge hit!

Since we're on a commercial break, I must say that I am really upset by all of this lip synching. I quite enjoyed many of the performances last year. And I told all 12 of my piano students to watch this mess. Argh. John Legend better bring it. I'm trying to stay sober tonight, but I don't know….

@Renoblondee – I think I just heard that our Bruno is going to be performing!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO! I loved him on Graham Norton, where he sang 'Feels Like Heaven' – all of his band danced with him and were just so brilliant …

Or – OR! – a Sisqo/Lena Dunham Thong Song collab for Derek since it sounds like he has the devil's baby trying to claw his way outta him and probably doesn't have much time left? (Sorry Derek. Ya time is coming to an en

John Legend and Keith Urban have been superb, everyone else can suck it. It's not about the genre of music, it's about the quality and the passion. IMHO those two are the only ones who showcased actual talent.

Also not on here, the Bachelor "wedding" at the Biltmore. It's been fucking traffic around the Four Seasons all day and is being broadcast live on the East coast. Can't these hos stay in LA where they belong?

I'm the same age as Taylor Swift. I loved her when I first heard her 8 years ago, then I grew up and thought she was very childish and now I'm back to liking her. Or at least her songs. Just letting everyone know.

I'ma get more shine in a little bitSoon as I hit the stage applause I'm hearing itWhether it's black stars black hearts I'm feeling itBut can't none of them whip it like I doI, I gets it in mmmm ya… I go hardWhen they see me pull up I whip it real hardI whip it real hard, real hard, I whip it real hard

I love Pink, I don't care if she's done the trapeeze (sp?) thing a million times before, it's 1000x better than anything that's been on that stage tonight. And now I just need Daft Punk/Pharrell/Nile to perform!Oh and GO LORDE!

@JSierra – I know what you mean. I think she sounded incredibly nervous, hence why she went up a bit at the end of one of her sentences. I don't sound like that – I work in Oz a lot too though, so my accent is very neutral. I thought she sounded a tad British.

@Kimba – I sort of get the impression that they're not talking to one another, even though they're seated beside each other. Something is amiss there. Or maybe they made a pact not to perform without the others (RIP)?

@JSierra Fortunately we don't get a lot of reality shows over here so I haven't gotten accustomed to them and therefore don't feel the need to look them up now that I know how the internet works. But regular Hollywood gossip is my Achilles heal.

I hope the trolls don't get to Lorde – she received some really nasty comments on Twitter about her boyfriend James … no wonder some of these acts get shielded from all the media stuff by their minders.

Step yeah it looks like a lot of people are standing now, idk if it was the angle or what but at the beginning all you could see was a sea of seated audience members and Taylor dancing in the first row.

Jeez I hate this girl's music, I feel bad because she was really sweet and cool on the red carpet but her "Blowing Smoke" song drives me absolutely bonkers. Her dress is not okay though. Not okay.

Karen huzzah fellow Kendrick fan! I've been following him and Danny Brown for years, it makes me so happy to see them finally get recognized for their music. They don't fuck with any of this new rap "boooty booty booty" shit and I love that.

@JSierra I have to admit I'm late to the party, I've known about him for a little over a year but man oh man what a year it has been! He is clearly the best thing to come out of the rap world since I don't know when basically. He's incredible consistent.

I bet a certain radio host here who I cannot stand is feeling stupid now, having commented a while back that she interviewed Pharrell and he was "stupid, didn't seem to know how to answer questions and probably wasn't destined for a long-standing career in the music industry". HA!!!!

One of two things is happening here:1. Everyone is super fucked up, so everyone here must drink! Sorry guys it's a rule.2. Everyone is getting paid by how enthusiastically they dance during this performance. Dance monkey, dance!

That performance reminded me when, a few Grammy's ago, Jay Z did the New York anthem, his performance built and built until everyone was vibeing and you could feel the electricity through the TV, this was something like that, everyone was GROOVING drunk or not, that was the BOMB.

I don't feel bad that Bruno and Macklemore didn't win because they've won soooo many other awards and their popularity is likely to remain, whereas Lorde's might fade … especially as she relies on Joel to co-write her songs – she's not like Taylor Swift who is self-sufficient.

I think people interpret Ella ("Lorde") as being uppity based on what they hear and see in the media and her image; the reality though, is she's very humble, down to earth and kind of ordinary. I always laugh when people guess the blinds about drugged-out tweens being her … the reality could not be further than that.

I'm living the Grammy's through you all since I'm on the road and all the posts are making the phone move very slowly. Sounds like I should kick the roommate away from the show for Downton Abbey. I will have a few drinks to catch up with everyone!

JSierra, I am going to forgive you for hating me for Metallica, and imma gonna tell you why: you are too young to know what they were back in the day. Plus, I live in Canada AND Alberta, they wouldn't let me in unless I did some air guitar to One. That's right, I pulled the age card.

Step naahhhh you have the right to gloat! When a foreigner wins it is a real accomplishment versus a lot of Americans where it is all money and influence. Mostly money and influence, there are some who sneak by without their souls being sold or stolen. Don't shoot me!

TTM the words you speak are true. I was brought into being at the very end of the Metallica hayday so I will never understand the appeal. As for it being a Canadian requirement, we are stuck with JayZ and Beyonce. They play Holy Grail on the rock and alternative stations. All hope is lost.

@Stepforded, no that was records of the year which I think is the same thing as song of the year. I'm don't understand myself. I think song of the year is for the songwriter and record of the year is for the producer/mixer.

Well, she never COULD sing, as a singer she was a great dancer, but her music used to be fun at least. It was kind of excruciating when she was butchering the part there with the hook singer who actually CAN sing

Taylor won album of the year only 4 years ago and she's only 24. I don't think they're going to reward her the big one again so soon. I think inly U2 and Stevie Wonder have multiple AOTY wins. I might be wrong but I don't thing the grammy people wanna put her on that pedestal with them.

I'm not watching the Grammy Awards and can't keep up but I wanted to pop in and say I started Girls last night and… nice! Solid writing, interesting premise. I'm biased against Lena for her posture and attitude (I know, I know, shallow much?) but she's actually a good actor and writer. WTG, Derek & Lucas!

Apparently they didn't start airing the Grammy's on the left coast here until 8PM so the roomie is ensconced on the sofa but she's sharing her champagne. Hate to say it buy Robin Thicke actually makes the Chicago songs better. For a moment I thought it was Justin T..Oops!

@kimba: How were the Ks? What the K-trashes? I wasn't watching that, I was watching True Detective. In tonight's episode, we got some titty outta the broad who plays Harrelson's wife.

The fact that the music scene is so shitty nowadays that they have to trot out broke down 'tallica shows the Grammys aint worth watchin.

Paul McCartney's droopy, bulldog cheeks, deflated mouth and nose are just make him look older and more decrepit when coupled w/ that wig/hair do/whatever that is.

Ringo was just happy to get a call.

TTM: Alberta is all Heavy Metal and Bret Hart huh? Poor girl, you probably see mullets every time you leave the house.

The best album Metallica ever put out was their first, Kill Em All. Some say it was the Mustane influence. Great speed metal, perfect background music for booting someone in the head. After the Black Album, Metallica's stuff aint worth a buck a CD at a flea market.

They go back and the murdered chick's husband is a low-life cheater with a thousand pieces on the side. Three of them are Anton, Ann Margret and Fairchild. (Anton looked like absolute hell – worst of the bunch).

She was booked to play @ the Laneway Music Festival in Auckland (NZ) today, but then when the Grammy nominations came out, had to pull out. So, she's going to put on a free concert for ticketholders in a couple of days' time!

Lorde was apparently so nervous that she decided to avoid the red carpet and just get into the show.

Joel (co-writer) is staying on in LA to do some recording stuff for the next few days, but Lorde is returning tomorrow.

Lorde and her bandmates have been reading through all the Twitter messages, with the guy on drums weeding out all the nasty negative ones, including those that are comparing him to Ellen DeGeneres.

I hope Lorde stays grounded and cool … and remember, any BVs that mention a starlet on adderrall or similar, unable to handle their success, definitely do not relate to this one (whose Mum travels with her everywhere, by the way).

@Seven They've sold over a million singles I believe, that's 3x the population of Iceland. A huge accomplishment. And I still live in Iceland, you should definitely come over, we'll have some shitty Icelandic booze and some shitty Icelandic food (as a native I love me some putrid shark and brennivín, doesn't get more Icelandic) and go look at some pretty waterfalls 😉

Sorry, V, I am not a fan of musicians, actors and athletes blaming god for giving them awards, or touchdowns or wives, or anything else. In the immortal words of Sweet Brown, ain't nobody got time for that – least of all god.

And I absolutely loathe and despise Beyonce Knowles. I would curse the baby jebus if I had to deal with her on a regular basis. Seriously. Sorry.

Imagine Dragons played my company party last year, I went in with very low expectations, but they killed it. Glad they got to perform at the Grammys. Sherry, I know you hate rap, but I thought that was a great collaboration!

It's 6.30 am here. I actually thought I'd missed the whole thing. Have to sort children for school so no time to catch up. Will check in for post party gossip this afternoon. Hoping for some good stuff enties?

Pharrell was so poised. Give that man an award for that. Violet still hanging in. So what is the "album of the year" vs. "record of the year" and then that whole "song of the "year?Used to be 45's were a "record" but it's all CD's now. #soconfused.

Ninotchka, The Everly Brothers are one of those early influencers, they were also one of the original Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. I think today they have been somewhat forgotten, but they are rock and roll "gods"

Once upon a time Lindsey, Christine, Stevie and the one I can't think of at the moment had to hold the concert together for about an hour, while Mick Fleetwood puked his guts out off the side of the stage. Good times.

Well guys, I hoped you enjoyed it as much as we did earlier:-\ 😀 I got to go for reals, its 3 am and even leverage is over. I stag up any later, it will be church pastors and energetic choirs…Night guys
